Tropical Grilled Chicken with Greens

Salad green, sunset orange, wine red—the colors in this presentation make it as pleasurable to look at as it is to eat.

Ingredients

1pound Organic Prairie Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, thawed

5tablespoons olive oil, divided (plus extra for grilling)

2 green onions, minced

2teaspoons chopped, divided fresh thyme leaves

salt & pepper to taste

3tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 shallot, minced

4cups romaine lettuce, rinsed, dried, and cut

1bunch watercress, rinsed and dried (or arugula sprigs)

1⁄2cup shredded red cabbage

1 mango, peeled, pitted and diced

Directions

Place chicken on a large plate and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Sprinkle on the green onions, half the thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Turn chicken to coat it well. Let it marinate at room temperature, turning it once, for 30 minutes.

Whisk vinegar, shallot, remaining thyme, and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Add the 4 tablespoons of the oil in a thin stream, whisking as you go. Continue whisking until the vinaigrette has emulsified (comes together into a dressing).

Heat the grill rack, brush it with a little oil, and place chicken on it. Grill chicken 5 to 6 inches over the heat until it is cooked through on each side, about 4-5 minutes per side.

When chicken is done, let it stand 5 minutes off the heat to allow the juices to settle throughout the meat. Meanwhile, toss romaine, watercress, cabbage, and mango with just enough of the vinaigrette to coat the salad well. Transfer the salad to a platter, slice the chicken, and arrange slices over the salad. Serve the remaining vinaigrette on the side for diners to add as they please.
